Recommendations for Speaker Wire
« on: 23 Oct 2012, 11:40 pm »
I'm building my new V! speakers, and I think I want to treat my self to new speaker cables to go along with them. I have no real preference to this point. Any recommendations to match with my updated Eico 81amp ?

Please keep in mind that I am on a budget and in Canada...

Speaker cable wise I am still using the Electra Cables. I have not found any better those far for speaker cables.

I certainly respect your recommendation Danny, but I need something less expensive or perhaps a DIY solution.

There are these used Reality speaker cables but maybe they are outside your price range as well:

I'm not associated with the seller, BTW

Monarchy Audio's speaker cable is pretty good and not too expensive.  Canare 4S11 is real good for the price.  For a good, easy DIY, look-up the White Lightening speaker cables too.

Okay, I have some deals on some used speaker cables that are really good and priced really well.

Give me a call and I will tell you what I have. 940-592-3400

I will even let you try them out before you buy.
